Tisochrysis lutea |
Taxonomy:
Distinguishing features: Similar to Isochrysis, but plastids orange rather than brown.
Original description: Cells solitary, motile, covered by several layers of scales with ten radiating ribs arranged in each of four quadrants. Flagella two, equal, inserted apically with abbre- viated haptonema between, bearing small round scales with 12 radial ridges. Plastid single, parietal, yellow-brown with immersed pyrenoid. Asexual reproduction by division in motile and non-motile stages. Nucleotide sequences of nuclear SSU and LSU rDNA and cox1 gene are distinctive from previously described isochrysidalean taxa.
